Yep, I was on the roundabout and he did the classic “merge without looking” manoeuvre that drivers love so much. Apparently he didn’t see me because the sun was in his eyes. Very original.
Real heart in mouth moment when I realised I was about to be hit by a car, couldn’t gauge whether he was slowing down at all, didn’t know how bad it was going to be. Fortunately he did a half decent job of slamming on the brakes.
He stopped, as did a very nice couple in the car in the next lane, got numbers for both. Bike appears unharmed, will have to give it a proper once over later.
Eejit-
i had a very similar experience (as i'm sure many others have) a while back - properly shit me up as well!
i managed to skid sideways into the front side of the car so no harm done, but if i'd not been on the ball i would have been under the wheels for sure.
driver used the same lame "the sun was in my eyes" excuse despite the sun being in the opposite direction. no, you didn't see me because you didn't look, idiot.

shit! glad you managed to stay on / uninjured etc.
so you were on the roundabout and he drove into you?!
did he stop? get a number or anything?
